17 Credits for person registered both as employee and contractor To avoid doubt, if a registered worker is registered both as an employee and as a contractor: (a) the worker must not be credited with any qualifying service in relation to the same day of service more than once; and (b) subject to sections 87, 95 and 96 – the worker's LSL credits must be based on the total amount of the worker's qualifying service; and (c) an entitlement to long service leave or a long service benefit for the worker must be based on the total amount of the worker's LSL credits. Example for section 17 A registered worker who is an employee when applying for a long service benefit can therefore utilise all the LSL credits credited to the worker, including LSL credits for work carried out by the worker as a contractor.
